A Stalled Development

[testing times]

Easter usually marks the start of the 'Days Out' season and with this in mind, I wonder if the lads will highlight once more the videos that Marky put together on Hartlepool's prime tourist attraction - The Marina. I think there is a case for HBC to put together some sort of enquiry into what has happened to all of that spin we were given about the Marina almnost 20 years ago now. To anyone who isn't a blind man riding a fast horse, is it not clear that the Marina is a stalled if not failed development that HBC appears to be trying to quietly wash its hands of - other than those still, all-too-frequent and empty 'Jewel in the Crown' claims. Surely a working group of interested parties should be pulled together before this tourist attraction slips even further down the slope.
